@inte oi* pinto D,

By my 'formation and arrangement oi parts I attain simplicity and streng-tn o' structure, especially in so far as the atmenment ioops t, 7), or 11., da Concerned7 oe canse the said loops nre in one ii :eb` .piece with the ineiiei. basic Section niet?, i shown 'ioi'e paitienini'ij/f in f iirzufinf'" tin-is not ony obtint invoi'veii of Qoiiieiin einen ion*L seine 'time eliminating the (Lin ture or detachment thereof when separately formed and soldered, heretofore. to the ca si'ngr.

lt is to bc understood that the particular .shape of casingr shown in the accomj'ianying drawings is incidental only, and that the cascntial features ol my invention mayy be incorporated in and with other desired or.

suitable configuration ot casing. Furthermore. the drawings show the parts on a larger scale than 'those usually employed in actual practice.

Ubriously the Simplicity of the component parts of my casinar adapt them for formation by dies, so that the cost of production is reduced to a minimum, while effecting a structure ot' maximum strength.

`What l claim my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,

l. A watch case of the character design nated, comprising a centrally apcrtnred medial basic section plate formed with pro trusive attachment loops. and centrally apertured cheek plates incorporated integrally Vith .said medial basic plate, for the purpose Set forth. v
